Reality Scrap Week 6 Challenge

Well as you all know it was an OTP project this week that you have to be able to put on your fridge. So I looked at what I had on the fridge and what I could totally change the look of, I only had a shopping list but I thought it was way too small. So the only other thing on the fridge was the chore list for Jamie.
Well as most of you know the best thing for Jamie is structure in his life and we have given him little responsibilities to help him toward being more independent. So we don't call them chores as he does not understand that word, so we use "remember to". So the jobs are repeated everyday so that he is able to learn to recognise the words and we introduce new things as he gets capable of knowing each chore and recognise the words easily.
I just altered the "collections" chipboard coasters with a collection of my favourite photos of Jamie. I used both my pieces of Chatterbox Patterned Papers....I just connected a large piece of Magnet onto the back of the chipboard and it holds them up easily... Each one has the day of the week, which Jamie is great at recognising and understands. He has 3 little jobs to do each day and we always go to the fridge together in the afternoon and look at the day and what his jobs are. But now with the coasters they look great instead of a piece of paper, and definitely the fridge looks better with them on too. Jamie loves them and wanted to take them to school to show his teacher, but I said that they have to stay on the fridge so mummy can see them everyday...
So this is what I created, sorry about the heaps of photos but I tried Picasa and I only wanted 6 in at a time and it would do 9!!!


These collages were created by the talented Katie, thankyou so much for doing this for me. And to Sam also who offered to help you girls are wonderful. Thankyou!!


This photo I took of them hanging on the fridge so you can see they are hanging their, and I only used old AD magnets that you get in the mail or from businesses etc.




Thanks for looking girls and YAH had another weigh in day and had a loss again this week so I am happy:) Have been working my butt off first at work for 3 hours cleaning than came straight home and did mine for 3 hours.
Missed FNG last night, as we went out for drinks for the footy. Sadly the Broncos had their first loss to the Cowboys:( But it was definitely a great game....
